Decisions decisions.
$400 is half a set of wheels

Almost a whole set on Black Friday

I'm going to get the Cervini's Stalker hood, eventually. I have a LOT of appearance mods planned soon. I have them all just waiting for next week, when I'll have PTO. Finally get a chance to give my car some TLC...full detail, RTR decklid, taillight bezels, vinyl wrapping some pieces, new head and fog light tint, etc...

LOL! Well, you do have a point there....oh, and so much for your "less is more" statement! You have a list going on there, but it should look really good. I actually really like(d) the 2012 V6 PP / CS wheels - there's a set in Gilroy for $600. But, it always makes me nervous doing Craigslist for car parts, especially if they have no "proof" that the items came off their car. Too many sheisters around here....And I say "liked" these, but then I saw they are putting them on Volvo station wagons as OEM for pete's sake. What Volvo needs these wheels, I ask?

That's a really good deal with tires. I am actually selling my stock Brembo Package wheels, not sure if you'd be interested in those. I don't have tires though, as my stock tires went on my new Niches.

I'd go check out those wheels if you like that style. I do like those wheels too, but Ford's stock wheels just don't have a low enough offset for me. If my stock wheels were pushed out to the corners more, I wouldn't have even gotten new wheels. I ran 1" spacers front and rear for a while, but that was a short term solution.

And you'll see it all come together. The RTR decklids deletes the faux gas cap! Less emblems! Haha

Fantasies are such a great thing, lol. It's kinda the same thing when I ride up on my Goldwing....and get off of it, and everyone looks cuz I'm only 5'2". LOL
Why not get the Elmer's glue and glitter and go to town - way cheaper. Think of all the guys who would lose their dignity getting smoked by a glittered car. It's the ultimate sleeper in plain sight!
